I understand that it needs to be collinear but didn't think I have to actually make it collinear with the constraint. I thought that it will be collinear since I am drawing on the X-axis.<BR />Thanks again.

Note this uses the origin not the sketch grid.&nbsp;</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="HughesTooling_0-1709219387841.png" style="width: 600px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1331935iE48CD9C67905B180/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="HughesTooling_0-1709219387841.png" alt="HughesTooling_0-1709219387841.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Mark</P> Thu, 29 Feb 2024 15:12:05 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/why-the-need-to-constrain-with-collinear-when-making-a-line-on-x/m-p/12591059#M23833 HughesTooling 2024-02-29T15:12:05Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/why-the-need-to-constrain-with-collinear-when-making-a-line-on-x/m-p/12592376#M23834 <P>Great.
